VS2005 code edit whilst debugging Web Application Project

im using scott guthries 'web application' project type (
http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2005/12/16/433374.aspx ), as
migrating to asp.net2 'web site' model was too horrendous for this
application.

in vs2003 i used to be able to start debugging, step through, then if i
wanted to type into the editor, i could. it used to give me a message
saying, do i want to restart or continue, and obviously my code changes
were not reflected. however it allowed me to try stuff out, play with
intellisense etc and then when debugging was over i would be able to
save my file and restart.

now in vs2005 with a web application project, when debugging the file
area in the ide is locked, and attempting to type anything just gives
me a msgbox saying you cannot edit whilst debugging.

now .. im a adult, i know that my changes wont be immediately
reflected, i can even cope with the debugger going out of step when i
insert a line, but i cant bloody stand the ide saying i cant edit that
file.

does anyone know if this is a limitation of the 'after thought' web
application project type (as i understand the 'web site' model allows
in place editing? or is this something else.

ps

ive tried running against both cassini and iis and it doesnt change
things.

pps

does anyone else feel like they wish they could go back to that nice
fast vs2003 ide?
